Russell Ford has been appointed as executive chef of Kimpton Fitzroy in London's Bloomsbury.

Ford has 30 years' experience in the industry, having worked across London in venues such as the Marylebone hotel and the Kensington hotel as executive head chef.

"It is important for me to nurture Kimpton Fitzroy London's up-and-coming chefs, helping them to develop their careers and champion the amazing talent that the hotel chefs have. In addition, I am looking forward to making my mark on the event, room service and Burr & Co menus."

Gareth Walsh, general manager at Kimpton Fitzroy London, said: "It is a real pleasure to have Russell join the Kimpton team and lead the way in the next chapter of our culinary journey. It's an exciting time for the hotel and we look forward to developing our guest experience further."
